In 2025, UNESCO marks two major milestones: the 60th anniversary of the International Hydrological Decade (IHD) and the 50th anniversary of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP). To commemorate these occasions, UNESCO hosted a series of celebratory events in Paris, France, from June 10 to 13. During the main event on June 11, ICHARM was honored on stage with a commemorative plaque in recognition of its longstanding global contributions to research, education, and information networking as a UNESCO Category II Centre since its establishment.
